PopIcon – Make Your Revit Rock!
This lecture will introduce PopIcon software: a new API that improves productivity for both model building and documentation by giving users an easy interface that puts tools, tabs and icons at your fingertips.
Understanding how to increase productivity with Revit is the key to the success for any office engaged in BIM in our current economic climate. The four key challenges in meeting this goal are: overcoming the high cost of training, finding ways to build accurate models quickly, documenting projects in Revit and standardizing model content.
Over the last several years we gradually built a series of tools that run inside Revit to help us overcome these hurtles and remain competitive in the marketplace while continuing to provide our clients high quality BIM projects. Working with Autodesk we created PopIcon Software which is a commercial version of our in-house tool set. This lecture is a demonstration of the capabilities of this software.
Who Should Attend
Currently PopIcon is written for use in Revit Structure. With the release of Revit 2013, the newest version of PopIcon will also include tools for architects. Structural designers will find this lecture of interest as will Architects who are interested in participating in the Beta testing of the 2013 version of PopIcon.
